Batman's titillating, cat-themed foil was the perfect addition to Batman: The Animated Series.

In the 1990s, you were glued to the TV during every single episode of Batman: The Animated Series -- the cartoon that finally got Batman right with its rich, dark textures, simple, expressive animation, and an unsettling submersion into noir crime fiction.

Catwoman, aka Selina Kyle, was a necessary component transferred from the comic -- a noir-friendly "femme fatale" who usually lured Batman into dangerous situations with the promise of redemption, and perhaps making out.
